I'm having some trouble using an image as a button in a form. I've zeroed
out the margins and paddings in this simple search box and yet the button
wants to sit about 6px higher than the label and input. I've added this

I tried this markup in IE6 and Firefox 1.5 without [margin:6px 0 -6px
0;]. Everything lines up well. It is obviously some other CSS that
affects your button. I agree with Seona's suggestion #foo button img {
margin: 0; padding: 0; }
